Self Love Session in the Tall Grass

I first met this sweet spirit years ago through her outdoor clothing brand Authenticity Clothing, and then again through her work as a Reiki Healer as The Guided Spirit, and so it was so beautiful to connect again after she moved back to Newfoundland for a Self Love Session. We headed out into the hills on an August evening, to a place where the wind rustles through the tall grass and you can hear the ocean below you. It was the sweetest thing.

Why I photograph Self Love Sessions

It’s so wild to realize that I’ve been creating Self Love Sessions for over 10 years now. This practice has always felt like one of the deepest rooted reasons I choose to show up as a photographer: connecting with people on a deeper level, helping them feel comfortable just being themselves, and creating photos that make them feel seen as they truly are.

The Original Self Love Session, and What They Are

The name “Self Love Session” seems to have gotten popular in recent years, but I promise you this isn’t just another portrait session. My Self Love Sessions are vulnerable, meditative, and deeply intentional. We’ll talk about your goals and growth, your hopes and dreams, and we’ll root in a place of gratitude and compassion.
